CORROSION OF METALS IN ASSOCIATION WITH CONCRETE

The report evaluates the problem of the corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete, its economics, and the types of structures affected. The mechanisms and specific aspects of this type of corrosion are also discussed, as well as factors affecting corrosion rate and methods of measurement. The subject is discussed in the following chapters: 1 - introduction and background; 2 - magnitude of the problem; 3 - fundamental mechanisms; 4 - factors influencing the rate of corrosion of steel in concrete; 5 - measurement of deterioration; 6 - fatigue of reinforced concrete and influence of environment; 7 - protection methods; 8 - standards; and, 9 - current and needed research.
